I find it amazing that this poem was written specifically for Canada. It shows how popular he is in his country. I never would have thought that Shane Koyczan would be so well known, maybe it's because not many people know him here in the United States. He makes Canada sound like an amazing place to visit and like the people there are inspiring like his poem. I love everything about this poem and how each line is something that everyone in Canada is proud of. I like that the whole idea is that Canada is more than what you would think, such as skiing and hocky.
Words are powerful when written down, but even more so when they are spoken. Shane Koyczan, a native Canadian, is a spoken word poet. I will share with you his poems and what I take from them. Spoken word has been around for many centuries and usually focuses on the words themselves and the way they sound, the gestures that a person uses with the words, and facial expressions. It brings feelings back to words in a society where technology has muted them.
